[after Worf has temporarily played "Captain" of the Enterprise]
Commander William T. Riker : How did you like command?
Lieutenant Worf : Comfortable chair.
K'Ehleyr : And you wore it well.
-
[last lines]
Lieutenant Worf : K'Ehleyr - I will not be complete without you.
-
Lieutenant Worf : You are late.
K'Ehleyr : Sorry. Had to make myself beautiful.
Lieutenant Worf : I fail to understand why.
K'Ehleyr : Worf, we're alone now. You don't have to act like a Klingon glacier. I don't bite. Well, that's wrong. I *do* bite.
-
K'Ehleyr : [having dispatched Worf's exercise program] It's not much of a program.
Lieutenant Worf : [gives her a look] Computer... level two.
-
Lieutenant Worf : Talk or play. Not both.
-
K'Ehleyr : Damn you, Worf! You'd let me go without saying another word, wouldn't you?
Lieutenant Worf : What needs to be said?
K'Ehleyr : Nothing. Everything.
-
Lieutenant Worf : I've noted that some people use humor as a shield. They talk much, yet say little.
K'Ehleyr : Whereas others take a simpler approach. Say nothing.
Lieutenant Worf : When one does not have the words...
K'Ehleyr : Or is loath to speak them...
-
[after being intimate with K'Ehleyr, Worf initiates a formal Klingon oath of marriage]
K'Ehleyr : Wait. You can't mean...
Lieutenant Worf : We are mated.
K'Ehleyr : Yes, I know! I was there!
-
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Lieutenant, I order you to relax.
Lieutenant Worf : [agitated] I *am* relaxed!
-
[in order to accustom a rather suspicious Captain K'Temoc to the 24th century, Worf poses as Captain of the Enterprise]
Lieutenant Worf : Captain, as you are new to this century, I have tried to be patient, but I will tolerate no further insubordination. Drop your shields, immediately!
Capt. K'Temoc : And if I refuse?
Lieutenant Worf : Then die in ignorance. I can waste no more time on you.
-
K'Ehleyr : I hid the truth from you. Last night did have meaning. I was tempted to take the oath with you. It scared me. I've never had such strong feelings toward anyone.
Lieutenant Worf : Nor have I.
K'Ehleyr : Then it *was* more than just a point of honor. Maybe someday, when our paths cross again... I won't be so easy to get rid of.

[first lines]
Commander Riker : Looking good. I'll go five.
Doctor Pulaski : Five here.
Lieutenant La Forge : And five more.
Lt. Commander Data : I believe the wiser course of action is to bend.
Lieutenant La Forge : You mean fold, Data.
Lt. Commander Data : That is correct. Fold. To bend. To make compact or capitulate.
Lieutenant Worf : I raise fifty.
Lt. Commander Data : I do not believe Lieutenant Worf understands all the nuances of the betting process.
Commander Riker : I wouldn't be so quick to judge, Data. His pile's a lot bigger than yours.
Doctor Pulaski : Than any of ours.
Lt. Commander Data : The cards have been favouring the Lieutenant but that is the result of random chance. Therefore, a temporary condition.
Lieutenant La Forge : You hope.
-
K'Ehleyr : I will *not* take the oath!
Lieutenant Worf : Then this night had no meaning! And *that* I will not believe.
K'Ehleyr : Believe what you will.
-
Lieutenant Worf : Klingons never bluff.
-
Lieutenant Worf : Welcome to the 24th century.
-
K'Ehleyr : Tell me one thing. You would have gone through with the oath, wouldn't you? Regardless of the consequences to our careers, to our lives.
Lieutenant Worf : Honor demanded no less.
K'Ehleyr : What do you want? Is honor all you care about? Don't you *feel* anything else?
-
Lieutenant Worf : There are always options!
K'Ehleyr : Oh, are there? Tell me, whatever happened to that wonderful Klingon fatalism of yours?
Lieutenant Worf : My experiences aboard this ship have taught me most problems have more than one solution!
K'Ehleyr : Starfleet hasn't improved you one bit. You're as stubborn as ever.
